If Old Blink 182 Wrote "One More Time" (A Blink Eras Montage)

- Aside from my shoddy green screen experiments, I absolutely LOVE how this arrangement came out. So many fun easter eggs from so many of their different eras. I decided to only stick to the Mark Tom and Travis (and Scott) albums, because they have the most distinct character to me, and I know them the best. Hope you enjoy. Blink are back, baby!

Dude... this is awesome. Blink would be proud.
They should be watching him
Definitely!!
@@johncostello4565Mark has tweeted about his channel once.
honestly im amazed he nailed it has the right notes with the same old nostalgia
I came to say the same thing!
The fact that you created a version of this song and divided it into smaller versions each to perfectly represent Blinks sound from each album is nothing short of amazing!
Oh and he did the entire composition, recording, mixing & editing and released it in 7 days....
PERFECTLY correct
All it takes are a few small things to make something great.
Wtf is "wrong" with you?! It's amazing
Jesus Christ… I would say that you are crazy talented but this is so much more than that. I’m a 38-year-old guy sitting here with tears in my eyes. The song itself is so powerful but the musical walk through the park of my youth that you created literally moved me to tears. Happy tears. Emotional tears. This is art, brother. This is beauty. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Yes!
38 years with happy years as well. I’ve listened to this prolly100 times now. It’s awesome. Sounds perfect
Tears*
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”2
38, me too, the blink song brought me to tears, this one made me smile. its strange how its so different is people. Thank you once more
The "I Miss You" part. *chefs kiss*
Your drum skills are what make these sounds so authentic.
you totally right, it's the same constant little changes and crazy fills that keep it so interesting. Only recognize it now you said it, crazy 😅
Don't forget his Tom accent!
Went from Scott to Travis real quick.
I agree, and the hardest part to get right!
Is this guy actually doing all of the parts? Some legitamatly sound ripped. Like Mark's vocals from the original song sound like they were used on here.
I am absolutely fascinated how you blended 30 years of a bands musical evolution into one cohesive track. Thats pretty incredible in its own right.
I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THIS! I was just coming vibing with the track. I had to play it again to notice he switched styles with every album!
Praise Jesus Christ and the gift of music and people and reconciliation and MGK and Travis sparking a revolution and I and the health system improving for all to LOVE GOD!
Love it!! ❤❤❤
Spot on. Amazing deconstruction of the band
Wow dude. Absolutely amazing !
Wish this masterpiece was on Spotify
It's quite funny, you can download it and take it with you xD
its on youtube music
Vocals, Drums, Bass, Guitar(s), Timing, phrasing, tone. all amazingly on point. this guy should mix the next Blink 182 LP. awesome
Was thinking the same thing!
1a
Bro how are you so talented? Covering a song is one thing, but covering a song using every era of the band's sound and managing to make a completely different, coherent song that still sounds exactly like them is next level.
yea this is kind of wild. I think laymen always forget that people really know certain topics inside and out
Talented but still in a humble way . Keep it up bro
@@ReyAvenueOfficial This is the way.
This should genuinely be included in the album as bonus track.
This single song just blended a lifetime of nostalgia for me.
Have you actually watched the official video? There's a bunch more nostalgia on the backdrops.
damn straight, the intensity of emotion I cant say I have felt since I`ve grown older, its weird how it just floods back with familiar music like this.
Lmao I literally just listened to One More Time for the first time and said to my wife, I wish this sounded like “old blink”. Clicked your channel right after and here it is!!! Awesome job!!
How are you always so good at getting every single nuance of old blink in one song? Ridiculously impressive.
If you really love the sound of a band and listen to it so much for years you addapt the sound a little
Because Blink is the most generic, predictable songwriting in the history of music
It's not Generic, Maybe for modern punk standards thy have there typical old school 90's punk sound, As far as the riffs go sure it's sound is Simular, But to write songs whyle having the same sound over the years is not generic or predictable song writing. You're playing punk rock not progressive metalcore, Ofcourse it's gonna sound simpel and predictable, My bet is that you also play an instrument and you can tall it's simpel, Somethimes we have to take a step back and appreciate the vibe of the song and embrace the beauty of Simplicity @@darksharkofficial
@@darksharkofficialit’s punk, moron, the most paint by numbers genre in existence. You can’t name one punk band that doesn’t fit the description. They’re more musically talented than many “great” punk bands. It’s not like the Ramones were musical geniuses either.
@@kenshi4296I play an instrument, thrash and groove metal mostly. That said, the simplicity doesn’t make it bad, just more accessible. It’s more the clean vocals that led blink to stardom. Travis is killer on drums. That’s punk in a nutshell, right? Compelling or funny lyrics over hollow sounding bass and twangy guitar, with killer fast intricate drums.
0:31 That Little "Go!" followed by the Enema segment was perfection.
It hits me everytime 💛
the drumming is top level here. awesome cover friend!!!!
I just saw 30 years of my life pass before me in one song. I am a 40 year old man who is currently crying like a kid. You're a genius man ! Thank you for this masterpiece.
I’m 40 as well. Couldn’t have said it any better. Just incredible.
39 in a month, same... grew up on blink especially and they will always have a special place in my heart..
0:09 Josie

2:34 Ghost On The Dance Floor
I probably missed a LOT more but these were the easter eggs I could hear
0:00 I think is a nod to Touchdown Boy. Or Boring? The first minute also has parts very reminiscent of Apple Shampoo. There’s definitely a bunch of blink stylizing throughout this haha, some are likely not even direct references.
0:51 the guitar in the background is playing a melody that’s similar to “let’s start over” in I Feel So by Box Car Racer. Don’t think it’s supposed to be a direct reference, moreso reflecting a style change that happened in Enema of the State
My favorite thing to listen to is the drums, as they have the most clear style changes across the blink discography
This is great work mate! ❤
0:30 Aliens Exist
I think.
Definitely has Feeling This between I Miss You and Down.
Their version was an exercise in healing. This version is if they never broke up in the first place
Seriously though, both of them are incredible
This comment made me WEEP 😭
I love how he was acting like / mimicking Travis at the very end of the video. Flawless execution and song! Well done!
I'm SCREAMING!! WHAT IS THIS INSANE SORCERY!!!?? JESUS!
Love what you did on the guitar when he said "I miss you" definitely really clever! Lol
My immediate reaction was “AND I’M SO SOWRRY”
Where r youuuuuhuuu
01:25 ?
I'm honestly surprised blink didn''t do that in the original version, it seems like a relatively obvious nod
If you notice in Blink’s video, that line was said at a point that mimicked the video for “I Miss You”. Maybe that was their nod!
The subtle guitar riff from "I miss you" when the verse starts with "I miss you" is brilliant! ✨
Every video you make further pushes me to start recording again. When I was in the hospital I watched all your videos and it's been years now since my release, I think it's time for me to stop being scared. Awesome video
It's supremely rare that a cover is on par or better than the original. Hurt, The Sound of Silence, Zombie and this are examples in this elite category. This is EPIC. Well done man.
The way you transitioned into the Self titled era using the words “I miss you” was done so well !!!! You’re so talented man ✨
This is Blink's new song brother. Go watch the music video, it's amazing.
That’s how the song goes lol
@@M3M3D14 You don't get his point. He is refering to the musical transition using a reference.
Yeah at 1:28 after he sings "I miss you" you can hear the guitar from the background playing something similar to the original song.
I hope Mark, Tom or Travis sees this. What a tribute man. You could almost remove the green screen and you could name the era with how absolutely amazing this was.
My exact thoughts. You can hear the eras change and he did a phenomenal job. Well done Alex. I hope the boys see this.
Am shaking and melting, dude please cover full band neck deep wish you were here tq
Very well done. I bet even Blink 182 would be impressed with this - it sounds just like Blink doing this 20 years ago. Amazing!!!!
Been racking my mind on who blink182 sounds like now???
Great job! Knew I wasn't alone in craving this sound😂
This is REAL talent. Just as many goosebumps from this variation as I got from the first listen of the blink released version.
I’m going to watch just one more time…
And how many times has it been now?
@@Lady_dromedayou miss the joke
@@rafaelrolino i realize that now 😅
😂😂😂😂 bravo.
FANTASTIC! I loved the banners changing but also the instrumental key changes as well. Nothing but mad respect from one Blink fan to another.
This was amazing! The pacing, heavy downstrokes, and everything fully encapsulated them. Great stuff!
Holy shit dude. This is exceptional on so many levels. Even the different production you had on the drum sounds for the self-titled album section to make them sound more spacious. An absolute triumph 👏🏻
This was neat - I would've loved to hear more drastic changes in the guitar tone / effects throughout the albums (Enema always had a really shiny sounding guitar tone and general mix compared to the rest imo, and the self-titled album had an often-heavier or even crunchier tone) and I would've loved more ride bell and hat fills during the TOYPAJ section. The Neighborhoods section was cool to see. Man, I love that album.
Very good feedback, thanks for taking the time to share
This is the kind of detailed and constructive criticism I love to see, incredibly rare to read a comment from someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
God, I love the heavy crunchy guitars on the self titled album. I really hope this new album evokes that sound more.
I also love Neighborhoods, my second favorite album of theirs.
As a counter point, I feel as if Alex didn't want such jarring transitions and more so wanted something that sounded like a song w/ nods to different generations. Would be interested in hearing both versions though!
The guitar tone on Enema and TOYPAJ is god like thanks to Jerry Fin producing those albums. He was incredible at getting an amazing guitar tone and it's not easy at all to replicate that tone.
@@TopDogRL I had considered this when leaving the comment, that maybe this was the intent too, which is cool! This comment was just me stating my preference :)
BIG SMILE from me at the end there man, ending on neighborhoods is cool!
Nailed it! Also, love what you did with the change in backdrop and how you changed how you played to fit the album - very clever!
Aren’t they technically “old Blink” now 😜
You killed this cover!!
Yeah they’re “old Blink” now. Better call them Blink then…
With the two new songs they put out, it truly is old blink at this point. Like, to the point of bringing friends who loved blink, loved each other, but fell apart for one reason or another, back together. blink did something magical with this song.
Yea, more like "Middle era blink" .. old blink is Buddha, Cheshire cat and Dude Ranch. However, excelent job!
@@felixuy87I think he means they are all old.. Lol
WHAT!?!?!? That is BRILLIANT. Someone HAS to ger you and your mix in front of the band. This is BRILLIANT!!! What an incredible, tour worthy rendition!! Just WOW! For the 1st time in yrs, CZcams recommendations brought something remarkable. Congratulations, truly incredible work. Truely
This is the internet... odds are, they've heard it already
FYI, this guy always has great videos. He loves Blink, but he covers millions of other songs too (and has some of his own), and will do unique renditions of them (like if a certain Blink song became a country song, or if a certain country song became a Blink song, or if a certain song was played at a slower - or faster - pace to give it a different vibe, etc.). He's super talented and creative.
Welcome to Alex Melton aka the GOAT of youtube music covers. He has plenty more where this came from!
This is literally my favourite video on CZcams, it makes me so happy every time I watch it. Thank you for making this Alex. 🙏🏼
I’m entirely obsessed with the production of this entire video. This is so spot on 🔥🔥🔥
This dude has mad chops in every thing. Like you typically see a great guitar player who can't sing, or a great bass player with minimal drum skills, or any combination of the like. This dude legit holds his own on every instrument, and vocals, and arranging/songwriting. He's like a musical polymath
He's also a producer.
Is it this easy to fool normies??
One man band
This one truly shows how deep your love and respect for Blink runs. Amazing work man.
1:28 love the drum part when he says “I miss you”, really ties that part together. incredible little reference
The bass line he plays at that part also resembles the line mark uses in the song "I miss you", it's super subtle and I love it
This video was amazing! You did such a good job of capturing the essence of each era of Blink. Great work!
2:41 ALRIGHT ALEX DANG
Yo I didn't know YuB watched this. You should make more Blink-182 covers. Something from Dude Ranch. Love your content!
the last yubreddit vid he did in the backyard (backyard gang btw) he did a cover of feeling this but it was about memes and stuff@@Xman_0957
of course you saw this. also yub i love you. thanks for the help over the years if you see this
This is the ultimate Blink 182 tribute 🔥💯
Take a bow lad, this is absolutely awesome
Make total sense going through the eras due the lyrics, AWESOME JOB ❤
Holy shit, dude! You really killed this one!! Any blink fan looking back into your childhood after hearing this, This Is IT. The best childhood ever!
You weren’t there for the 80’s if blink was your childhood, you missed the best time in music to be a kid. That said, when Blink came out it was a shot in the arm for Pop Punk.
I hope Blink sees this. This is so good Alex! One thing is suggest - your drummer needs a million tattoos and no shirt 😂
He just need a thousand tattoos. No big deal 😂
Didn’t like this comment to keep it at 182 😏
That was awesome, Alex. With this version, nostalgia hits different. I love it!
I'm not crying... you are 😢 bro, you're so good at doing what you do! Keep that magic flowin'
Mark, Tom and Travis need to see this video and let you hop on stage at least once on tour. This sounds like everything from Dude Ranch and Enema of the State. Having listened to this song on repeat since it was released this song pays homage big time!
As a musician for 25 years man this dude is fire
That was amazing. You pulled thay togethe perfectly man, thank you for that
This was amazing!!! Such a great job man, blink and you should be proud!!
Holy shit dude. Nobody said make 5 versions of the song, each one equally amazing. Incredible.
Oh. My. God. You never miss. This manages to capture the emotion of the song and the joy of hearing it in all the different Blink styles. You just rock. Hands down.
this is literally a masterpiece. there is no other word for it.
This is the cover we all needed! Thanks for brighten up my days Alex!
This is really impressive mate, how you've gone through the Eras perfectly, with the song tempos, and the guitar riffs fit with each era perfectly
This is just incredible. I have no words for how good this is. I genuinely hope blink sees this. It's just perfect.
Thank you now we have both versions!! This is so sick man 🔥🔥💯
Dude just brought the 90s and early 2000s back in one cover. Blink needs to see this.
The moment this song dropped I just KNEW Alex Melton's next video was going to be something along the lines of 'One More Time But It's Old School Blink"
Many artists now are coming out with acoustic versions of their singles... It would be sick if Blink did the opposite and came out with a heavy version of One More Time. Solid work Alex!
Dude that was freaking EPIC. I have listened to Blink since the mid 90's and that most definitely has their pure old school sound. You're super talented!!! Keep it up 😮
Glad you included at least one album with Scott’s style drumming. It’s crazy to hear the transition from his to Travis’s style.
I genuinely have no idea how you get this stuff done so quickly - absolute fair play, mate 😂💥
Bro normies are wild with this praise
I mean just wow. A masterpiece in itself my friend. This is top notch. You should be VERY proud!!!
1:30 an iconic rhythm of I Miss You 😢 really miss the old Blink 182
Emh you can hear it in their actual song and not just this cover. You can hear it because the drums kick in with that same beat from I Miss You. The old Blink...wacky ass comment from someone living in the past.
@@KasperK-su9ozDude u ok?
What makes this so awesome is the fact it's their NEW song -- which is a sentimental tribute to each other - played old school BLINK-style. It ticks all the boxes. Amazingly well done, my man!
Blink should have played it the way Alex does. This sounds a billion times better then that autotuned to death poppy crap they put out
@@Nerff554mate that guy has auto tuned his vocals the whole song
@@donshlugga5900 Pitch correction doesn't mean you have to sound like a robot. It can be done tastefully.
It's amazing how it marks every style of each album in every part of the song, the images behind the albums tell you what sound style it's playing, depending on the era of each album. Something incredible.
Oh wow, dang! 🤩 This is a whole brand new Blink-182 now. I love it! ❤Amazing cover, the music, voice and everything..Thanks for showing up new stuff here. Keep rocking brother. 🎸🎶🙌🏼🤘🏼
Dude! Dude! So cool, your creative works are so awesome! Blink would be stoked thrilled for this!
Alex, that was amazing. I was listening to the original last night and wanted someone to do a cover but in retro blink style. Now I have both versions for my playlist
this is absolutely unreal. definitely one of the coolest covers i’ve ever seen on youtube. so cool how you incorporated the different blink eras. you’re an inspiration homes
Wow. This is absolutely incredible. I can’t even put into words how much I appreciate the way u managed to put my childhood and adulthood into one.
Wow! What an epic revamp! You put so much love into it! Congratulations! ❤❤❤
The effort to the music video too! With all the different backgrounds like blink, love it man!! 🎉
Sounds sooo good mate!!! well done.. love your mixes
Always appreciate your take on songs. Covers and reimaginings alike, they're always great. Please keep them coming in 2024.
Holy fuck dude. This shit needs to blow up. Perfection 🔥
These drum fills are sick. I never get tired of watching you play as Blink.
They absolutely need to adopt this version as a remix/live track you crushed it!!!!
This is a masterpiece 10000000%
And omg the absolute insane level of skill to do this justice as you did is insane!
From a 20 year Blink Fan, This is Absolutely Amazing! You Nailed everything, the styles and details. Thanks for making this Masterpiece! 👏 👏 👏
The drumming parts from the untitled section are absolutely perfect. So accurate.
when he says Do I have to die for you to miss me I absolutely felt that
This is absolutely phenomenal, thank you for this excellent retrospective cover! You are insanely talented and a brilliant musician! Totally agree that I think the guys would be impressed and would like this. God bless!
Bro, this isn’t just 100% accurate…it’s 100% a banger. Well done.
As someone who's been listening to Blink through most of those eras, I can agree this song sounds like it came from them. Amazing work. You got a subscriber out of me. When do you go on tour?
Couldn't agree more!
"Go!..." -signature tom delonge move, I think this guy's earned that!
Just mentioned this to someone above, but FYI, this guy has thousands of videos that are similar to this one in terms of being really well-done and creative. He's a big Blink fan, so he's turned a lot of their songs into country songs - or vice-versa, has turned some country songs into Blink songs. But he also does similar things with a million other songs (changing their genre, or speeding them up/slowing them down, or seeing how the song would sound if it came from a different band, etc.). I'd recommend scrolling through his page and just find a song that you want to hear - chances are, it's similarly high-quality.
I love this song man, but what I love more is seeing all the views! You are extremely talented and you deserve to be recognized.
11/10 bang on man well done. you nailed so many little references xoxo
Absolutely SPOT on. Blink is ALL I listen to and you got every era PERFECT.
I was so upset when I first heard this song because it was so slow. It's good, but c'mon, I wanted Blink 182. And then, Alex drops this. Thank you! This has to be one of your best works so far.
This is fantastic man, spot on with accelerated timing.
This is absolutely amazing, could listen to this all day.
Need to start a petition to get a Blink to have Alex open at least one show.
Alex, you just did this song the justice it deserves. This one is for the OG fans. Thank you.
